Dr. Kathy Padgett

Dr. Kathy Padgett was born and raised in Douglasville, Georgia. She has been a chiropractic patient since she was five days old. It was only natural for her to make a decision to pursue a career in Chiropractic. She made the decision after her own life changing experience in Chiropractic as a child as well as her dad’s. Dr. Kathy had a “crick” in her neck at birth and saw a Chiropractor when she was five days old. Her dad was born breech and was not able to hold his head up until after he was one year old. After exhausting all measures through allopathic medicine, his parents began to take him to the local Chiropractor to improve his quality of life. He continued Chiropractic care and then passed that on to his daughter when she was born with a “crick” in her neck.

Dr. Kathy attended the University of West Georgia to obtain her undergraduate requirements before beginning her course of study at Life University. She obtained her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in September 1999. She then began working as an associate doctor at Fayette Chiropractic where she grew in her Chiropractic philosophy and technique. During that time she met her husband, Aaron. They were married in early 2003. Later that year, Dr. Kathy opened Lighthouse Family Chiropractic. Dr. Kathy and Aaron currently reside in Douglasville with their three children.

Dr. Kathy opened Lighthouse Family Chiropractic with the vision and goal to provide the Douglasville area with quality family chiropractic care. She treats many types of patients, young and old. She has a passion for treating children and seeing the health of not only the children, but the whole family improves through Chiropractic care. It is not uncommon to see several generations of the same family sitting in the waiting room to be adjusted together. Lighthouse Family Chiropractic is truly a family practice working to improve the health of Douglasville, one spine at a time.

Dr. Kathy has a simple philosophy used in her practice…find any interference to the nervous system, fix, and maintain it. She is blessed daily with seeing the health of her patients improve and understands that we have within each of us, an ability to heal ourselves. Our brain has to be able to send and receive information to and from every organ and muscle in order for our body to work properly. Unfortunately the wear and tear on our bodies can cause interference in our nervous system. When our nervous system is compromised, our health can deteriorate. Dr. Kathy strives to remove any interference in your nervous system so that your body can heal and function as nature intended. Some of the disorders she has encountered in her practice include headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, reflux, asthma, stomach disorders, bedwetting, pregnancy complications, TMJ disorders, scoliosis and many musculoskeletal complaints.

In her effort to provide the best care possible to her patients, Dr. Kathy is a life-long learner. She is currently working toward obtaining a Diplomate in Chiropractic Pediatrics. She also participates in many seminars on health and wellness and is an active member of the Georgia Chiropractic Association, as well as International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.

In her leisure time, Dr. Kathy loves to spend time with her husband and children, scrapbooking and reading. They also enjoy many outdoor activities, traveling, and spending quality time together.

Dr. Kathy and her staff is excited that you are interested in chiropractic care. She and would love to talk with you about how chiropractic care can help you and your family.
